"Wonderful, it was a very quick and easy process. Brian talked us through it and in no time we had a 3KW system mounted on a frame in the garden and the invertor installed in the basement. Brian talked us through working with our power company to get the system checked and approved and we now get credits from the power company for power we provide to the grid. In addition we are set up to get Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) payments for providing clean energy. We also got a free Energy Audit which helped locate some problems areas we were able to fix. The system has basically cut our energy costs in half. I have hesitation in recommending them to anyone interested in solar energy."

"James professionally performed what was a tough install in my 3.200 sq. foot home, running over 500 feet of quality cable to the Center, Front, Surround and rear surround speakers as well as 2 powered sub-woofers through a tiny crawl space. Not a thing was left out of place or dusty. James and his team personally came back to ensure proper operation a few days later. I will be hiring Complete Automated Technology for future wiring/home-automation needs (wants). I couldn't be happier."

"Jiri Svoboda was recommended to me from Ryland Home Builders in 2007 when I needed to enclose a large doorway with French doors to create an office. He did a magnificent job! He is a master in carpentry and drywall. Since that time, he has completed the following tasks for me: Inspected my second home before I purchased it in 2012 and his inspection was on point. At that time, he gave me an estimate of all the work I needed completed so I knew exactly what I was getting into. Thereafter, the added benefit was that he did most of the remodeling. He added a closet to an unused room and matched the crown molding and doors to create a forth bedroom that fits seamlessly into my home; He removed 2400 square feet of popcorn ceilings and left them flawless; Removed a wall between the breakfast room and the family room creating a great room; Built solid wooden shelving in the entire rear of the two-car garage and a ramp into the shed; I highly recommend Jiri for home inspection and any needs regarding carpentry and home improvement. He is professional, respectful of your home and cleans up perfectly after the job."

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

To determine the right size generator for your house, you should calculate the total wattage of the appliances and devices you want to power during an outage. List all essential items, note their start-up wattages, and add them together.

Here are some typical wattage requirements for common appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 to 4,500 watts

  • Electric furnace: 5,000 to 25,000 watts

A 7,500-watt generator might be sufficient for essentials like a refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits. However, for high-demand items like a water heater or furnace, a whole-home generator is a better choice. A portable generator may be enough if you only need to power a few critical items.

While home square footage can offer a rough estimate, it is not always a reliable indicator. For reference, here are some typical generator sizes based on square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14 kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16 kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20 kW+

For the most accurate sizing, consult a professional who can calculate your home's peak and average power consumption and recommend the optimal generator.

Audits include inspecting insulation, HVAC systems, windows, and appliances to identify energy inefficiencies.

There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.

If you have central air conditioning, it’s fine to run your AC all day if that’s what you want—as long as the AC unit is in good condition. But if your AC runs constantly when you don’t want it to, there may be a problem with your system (like the ones we’ve mentioned above). Window AC units and wall air conditioners aren’t as powerful as central AC, so you should only run those kinds of air conditioners for eight to 12 hours at a time.

Yes, mini-split or ductless AC systems add value to a home and do not devalue it. They are an attractive feature for potential buyers, especially in older homes without existing ductwork, as they provide a practical air conditioning solution without the significant expense and hassle of installing traditional ducts. Ductless systems also eliminate issues associated with conventional ductwork, such as noise and the potential for pests. Furthermore, homeowners value energy-efficient solutions, and mini-splits offer high efficiency for both heating and cooling, plus zoned temperature control. This leads to lower energy consumption and reduced electric bills, which is a major selling point.
